Got DF working using that Lazy Newbie thing last night and had a pretty good run. Before I knew it, I had 40 dwarves and was suffering 0 attacks, so I think I need to spend a bit more time in a more difficult area or something. But yeah, one thing I need to get the hang of now is the new military setup because it's extremely lacking in anything that resembles "user-friendly".

I don't think you really need to do anything. IIRC last time we did this we had new people playing it and it was funny to see what happened when they bumbled around with the settlement not knowing what the shiet was going on. I guess if you want to take part without ruining it you can just have a dwarf named after you, but ruining by not knowing what you're doing is infinitely more amusing

Huxley, you'd be good as a kinda mid clustersmurf bounce, too much clustersmurfing could lead to a premature end of the fortress. I think you ought to come in at least for a year.

I need to get some more practice in big time, I won't go second I know enough about coping with the fortress problems to try and keep it running in the middle of a clustersmurf but hell going second right after Paul sets up an awesome fortress is just piling pressure on me. Unless Paul wants me to go second so I can help continue expanding the fortress to full size?

Comedians make for good miners and soldiers. Purely on the basic rule of "if you don't have a labour specialty, you're a miner or a soldier."

Also, I hate the new fey mood thing. I never have enough crap on my test game to allow for the dwarf to get everything he needs, and if you don't get it done, it's guaranteed suicide. In my game, Booker (Record Keeper) and RSL (Legendary Carpenter/Woodcutter) both fasted themselves until they died because I didn't have enough bones, cloth and leather. I had no idea they suicide until I read up on it after RSL did the same thing Booker did (which I thought was a bug - I had no idea Booker was in a strange mood earlier). I need to get a couple of hunters to slaughter crap and get cloth, leather and bones for me. =|
